A compressor suitable for classical music. Available as LV2 and CLAP by default (with optional VST3, VST2 and LADSPA).
Ratio = n:1. Ratio can be set in steps of 0.01 between 1:1 and 2.5:1 making it a fine-grained control suitable for classical music either as an insert or as a parallel compressor (such as transparent parallel as outlined by Bob Katz).
Threshold = -60 to 0 dB
Attack = 1 to 100 ms
Release = 1ms to 3s
Makeup Gain = -30 to 30 dB
Defaults are typical for a classical music starting point: 1.1:1 with -30 threshold. Attack and Release should be dialed to taste. For transparent parallel use (on its own compressor bus), suggested settings are 2 or 2.5:1 at -50 dB threshold, 1ms attack, release 250-350ms (up to 500ms for a capella music), makeup gain adjust to taste.

To build a VST3 version at the same time:
make BUILD_VST3=true
likewise, BUILD_VST2=true or BUILD_LADSPA=true.
On Linux systems, you can cross-compile LV2/CLAP Windows-x64 binaries as follows:

To add a VST3 binary at the same time:
scripts/build-win64.sh BUILD_VST3=true
